Ever dreamed of ‘owning’ Elon Musk, Donald Trump or even Satoshi Nakamoto (the mysterious creator of Bitcoin)? Now is the time to do so! Get your Ethereum wallet and buy a CryptoCelebrity. There is only one smart contract for each celebrity. Once you own it, you’re the only one in the world who has it.

But… be aware. 😉 When purchasing the price automatically increases, so when someone else is ready to pay the new price, they’ll automatically ‘steal’ your CryptoCelebrity. This means you’ll lose the card, but you will receive up to double the amount you originally invested in it.

How does CryptoCelebrities work?

CryptoCelebrities runs on the same blockchain technology as Ethereum. Just like each individual coin, each personality is linked to one (and only one) smart contract token on the game’s blockchain.

Fun fact

The most expensive CryptoCelebrity at this time of writing is Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum. He first discovered blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies through Bitcoin in 2011, and was immediately excited by the technology and its potential. He cofounded Bitcoin Magazine in September 2011, and after two and a half years looking at what the existing blockchain technology and applications had to offer, wrote the Ethereum white paper in November 2013. He now leads Ethereum’s research team, working on future versions of the Ethereum protocol.

If you’re in the tech world, you must’ve heard about CryptoKitties. CryptoKitties is an online game that works on the Ethereum blockchain. In the game you collect virtual cats, which you can use for breeding and selling.

CryptoKitties has been in the news lately a lot, simply because there are millions of Dollars going on in this virtual industry.

How does CryptoKitties work?

The game is all about breeding your own virtual cat. Simple as that. 1 + 1 = 3. There are at least 4 billion unique genetical possibilities. If you have your unique new cat, you can keep it or sell it in the marketplace. You pay with Ethers, the digital coin on Ethereum.

Ethereum blockchain

According to the (decentralized) blockchain principle, your CryptoKitties are yours to have only. They can’t be destroyed, copied or stolen. The application is build on smart contracts and – so the makers say – made to show the world that blockchain technology is (easy) accessible to everybody.

The meaning of the name InfiniTech is simple. It’s build with two words: infinity and technology. November 11 it spontaneously popped up in my head, and after a quick Google search I found this definition on Urban Dictionairy:

Originated from the word infinity and technology. Referred to someone who believes the universe is infinite due to the mass-production and human ideas. The technology that is the second root of this word can also be related to human technology, or human ideas and advancements. Infinitechs are often cyber-junkies or extremely intelligent.
